SALT LA KE CITY, UT AH TELEPHONE 5-5311 UtaltState Stands Kead11 . ~ TO UTAH STATE ALUMNI: The Nation is at war and the Utah State Agricultural College stands ready to serve in every possible way. In the prosecution of its regular work, the College is and has over all its history been in the service of America and the democratic ideals which America represents. Its courses in agriculture, engineering, trades and industries, home economics, in the arts and sciences have all been predicated upon the need of trained and qualified leadership in these great basic undertakings in order to make the nation strong. In the divisions of forestry, education, commerce, in training for professional social work, and in the development of what might be called the culture necessary for American citizen, ship, the College has been concerned to fulfill its great charter: "To provide a liberal and practical education for the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." In the whole broad curriculum of the College it construes its function to be an agency for the development of the State's resources, its industry, its vital land and water properties, its economic life, and above all else its people, that they may be a people fit for their tasks and a people of deep and true democratic culture. The College is par, ticularly proud of its record as a center of agricultural education. In proportion to wealth and size of state, the College gives greater emphasis to agriculture than any other Land, Grant College or University in America. We glory in this as our first duty and privilege. Now as America enters the most titanic conflict of all history, when our existence as a nation is at stake, and when our own and the world's very liberty is in jeopardy, the College will try to function as never before as a servant of the Republic. Our regular work will be continued because of its essential character and we will respond to any special duty we can perform in this emergency. I send word to all the Alumni of the College, that the ideals which were here when you were in College are still here, strengthened, we hope, by the vicissitudes of these times. High standards of scholarship we cherish as a first duty. That great comradeship of students and teachers which you shared is still present. High on this grand plateau the College remains devoted to the traditions of our State for self-sacrifice, hard work, and the preservation of high ideals. And these principles, if we can fully exemplify them in what 'we think and what we do, will make us worthy of America. ELMER G. PETERSON, '04 President, Utah State Agricultural CoUege.
